When does this happen?

IF When reasoning LLMs return <think> blocks, they are rendered as plain text, making it hard to distinguish reasoning from answer.

How others solved it

THEN Implement collapsible <think> blocks with distinct visual styling (e.g., shaded background, border) and default collapsed state, with an expand indicator.

// Paraphrased idea: Use a toggleable div with a shaded container and a click handler to show/hide the reasoning content. For example, add a button with text '[+] Reasoning available' that toggles visibility of a bordered box containing the reasoning.
